In our Skype English classes online, students often don’t know some terms related to Easter. So of course ‘Easter’ is the name we give for ‘Semana Santa’ or ‘Pâques’. ‘Viernes Santo’ is called ‘good Friday’. 2 days after is the culmination of lent (cuaresma/carême) called ‘Easter Sunday’ and then ‘Easter Monday’. A popular tradition in the UK at Easter is chocolate egg hunting. Happy Easter!

A big mistake in ouronline English classes. ‘All the time’ phrase should go at the end of a sentence, not after the verb or participle. So it is wrong to say ‘we have been all the time sleeping’ or ‘we are all the time watching TV’. We would need to say ‘we have been sleeping all the time’ or ‘we are watching TV all the time’. Remember: put ‘all the time’ at the end.
